India-UK Double Contribution Convention (DCC) Comes Into Force to Shield Bilateral Workers
Implemented alongside the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the pact allows temporary Indian and British workers to pay social security in only one jurisdiction.
The provisions apply specifically to detached (temporarily deputed) employees and individuals arriving after the enforcement date, covering stays up to a maximum of 60 months (5 years).
This convention is not retrospective, meaning past social security contributions cannot be claimed or readjusted under these new rules.
